Office.eu, a 100% European-owned “alternative” to widely used productivity platforms, such as Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, has officially launched in The Hague, Holland.
Built on open-source technology and running entirely on European infrastructure, Office.eu enables organisations to “regain control” over their data and digital operations, says the provider. It includes email, document management and collaboration tools
“We have seen more and more how essential it is to become cloud-independent and to rely on software that is built around European values,” said Maarten Roelfs, CEO of Office.eu. “For many years, Europe has relied on American software and therefore created a certain risk of dependency, but we have also given away the control over our own data. Office.eu proves that we now have a strong European alternative, with sovereignty, privacy and transparency at its core.”
The platform has been tested over recent months by early adopters across Europe. Designed as a complete office suite, Office.eu combines document editing, collaboration and secure data storage, while fully complying with European Union data protection legislation.
The launch comes at a time of growing concern about digital dependency and data sovereignty. For an increasing number of organisations, recent geopolitical developments have underlined the strategic importance of having “secure, independent digital infrastructure within Europe”, said Roelfs.
Office.eu runs entirely through European data centres. The provider offers support to customers wanting to migrate from Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace. It is currently rolling out across Europe by invitation for selected clients who have requested access. Pricing is said to be “comparable” to existing market alternatives, and tools are available to “ensure smooth data migration”.
A “widespread”, “phased” European rollout is planned in the second quarter of this year.
“Security Delta (HSD) is proud that Office.eu is rooted in The Hague, the International City of Peace and Justice. In this city we work together and we are a leading hub for digital governance, cybersecurity and innovation. The city actively supports initiatives that strengthen Europe’s digital sovereignty and contribute to a secure, open and resilient digital future,” said Joris den Bruinen, general director of Security Delta (HSD).
Security Delta (HSD) is a security technology cluster located in The Hague, and is backed by 300 Dutch firms and governmental organisations.
Office.eu is partly built on Nextcloud, the European open source platform. Office.eu was founded in 2024 and started operating in early 2026. Growth is expected across all European countries, particularly among SMEs, said the firm.
